    Probably possible to repair alot of it yourself. If the ECU is gone though I would consider wrecking it, might be a bit of a nightmare to find one. Unless you went aftermarket....

    IF someone did that to my busa I would be furious

    At least you've got something back, but man, they really did a number on it.

    Also name and shame I say, only because no police action will come of it (although how can they have possession of it and not be charged with theft is a bit farked up). Kinda like a public service to warn people whom their associating with since removing hands and fingers is frowned upon these days. Does the person who gave you in info mind if you do make it public?

    Its a long story I cant make public,.. I'm happy to PM anyone it if they want to know more. I wont mention who tipped me for their protection.

    How come it will cost $160? There's likely a KBer that can help transport it for you. If $160 is a huge concern at this stage then repairing it could really stretch your budget.

    I think it will all come down how easy it is to get running - either restoring ($) or bypassing (?) the HISS.

    You could customise it, or turn it into a track bike. Or you could walk away from it and put the fix up money into something else that you can ride.

    Do you have somewhere you could work on it?

    Perhaps if you decide against keeping it you could offer it up for sale here, or on TM. The insurance auctions on TM seem to usually get ok prices.
    Keep on chooglin'

    Thieving cunts, not enough disrespect that they stole it but they go and butcher it as well.

    Fix the electrics and street fighter it is probably the way to go. But maybe just get it back and store in secure location while you cool off/get perspective a bit.

    It has the HISS lockset/key/ECU right? That's going to be a bit of a cunt to sort. Those cost a bit to replace don't they as they need to be replaced as a total unit; new keys/lockset/ECU.

    Dunno. The only instance I know of, moto X bikes & trailer stolen from outside a motel was closer to the first three places mentioned, Murupara being closest.
    Inquiries indicated that gang members had the bikes, and where, the police were told but did nowt.

    I agree,.. they are a pain in the ass to sort,.. I had a key stolen to a Honda a few years back and getting the HISS stuff sorted will be a real pain. Seen a few HISS\ignition\key\ECU sets on ebay for around $400 so ill just have to do the math and see if its all gonna be worth it.

    Provided the ECU is still there,.. I can resolve the ignition stuff fairly easy though. The $160 isnt a problem,.. just mentioning it as that was the price of the towing fee. Pick up will be extra, but I'm sure I'll sort something aye.

    If someone wants to come have a look at it with me, you'd be more than welcome,.. just nervous that the guy who stole it might be able to read all this and pay me a vist when I invite someone over to help :S

    Where do you need to get the bike from, and to (general locations are fine or PM). I have a ute and should be able to help from that side?

    Gotta have something go your way eh?

    Nervous of him? Mate, get in first and pay him a visit I might even be able to help recover some costs depending how that goes.

    Get a few bods and pay him the mongrel a visit, then if he's stupid enough to threaten with firearms I'm sure the police will certainly get involved, given current news events.

    Given what's happened your attitude is pretty bloody good!

    Honestly I'd streetfighter it, or put the rego on hold and do it up over a few years. But I'm a sucker for punishment.

    If you decide not to, for the love of god don't give it to a wrecker - trademe it as a project bike, I've paid $2500 for a moderately munted kawasaki ER6, I'm sure someone would stump up more than that for a 954.
